Honestly I'm just imagining a scenario where Slaanesh Daemons park a car in front of a drive through

"Hello welcome to MCEldar, what can I get for you?"

"I'll have a deep fried Aeldari soul, Drukhari sauce, and a bag of human soul fries to go."

tough haven
#

Eldar society (craftworld at least) is entirely built around self control and discipline to moderate the psychic powers every eldar has and to shield their soul from the warp, and since daemons are also somewhat weak to psychic fuckery, it gives them a leg up occasionally. But daemons are well, daemons and have been consuming eldar since practically forever

winter vessel
#

, day by day, friends that I know are newbies to 40k lore, it’s interesting whenever they want to make a statement.

#

Like one of them says “idk, I kinda see more positives in Slaanesh than the other three if I were to worship a chaos god”.

opaque coyote
#

I mean I guess it would be awesome for like

#

A year

#

Would suck ass after that though

#

Literally

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

Basically choosing what Chaos God you'd rather fall to

#

Is like choosing what type of cancer would you rather get

tough haven
#

Im an undivided fan

opaque coyote
#

Ah yes

#

Skin cancer

tough haven
#

Id pick skin cancer, best clinical outcomes

Equally choosing path blessings or something

Too bad Tzeentch only likes Vultures for some reason

#

Personally

#

I want penguin Tzeentchian daemons

#

🐧

opaque coyote
#

Like I think I've only seen like

#

Vulture types

#

It's kinda sad that 95% of them are just

#

Tentacle monsters or whatever the fuck Blue Horrors are

winter vessel
#

Yeah. Think i remember seeing an art piece(fan art) of like a Hawk looking Tzeentchian demon

opaque coyote
#

I'm surprised we haven't gotten an Owl themed Daemon.

Considering Owls symbolize wisdom, knowledge, and the pursuit of learning.

Then again Tzeentch is kinda anti-wisdom.

regular hardcore for them

instead of like

absolutely fucking horrible and disgusting beyond belief

arctic talon
#

Nah

#

It’s def on the disgusting side

tough haven
#

Eldar are straight up repulsed by drukhari

opaque coyote
#

True. Then again, we don't really know what the Eldar Society was like before the fall

#

Like how degenerate was the average Eldar?

#

How many were freaky and how many weren't?

#

That kind of thing

arctic talon
#

The eldar empire was terrible

#

And it deserved to die by the end of it

opaque coyote
#

Since Craftworlders were kinda considered to be paranoid Doomsday preppers.

opaque coyote
#

Along with the several other shit.

arctic talon
#

The eldar empire didn’t interact with humanity

#

Explicitly

#

The majority of slaves in the eldar empire were other eldar

queen laurel
#

yeah no it's just that alot of alien life they met were

#

fucked

#

the Khrave and literal giant kaiju are one of the few examples

charred jewel
opaque coyote
# queen laurel fucked

It's also kind of interesting considering that

Well aliens probably WOULDN'T have human morals

#

"Yeah we eat babies. You don't?"

arctic talon
#

Anyways my point being the eldar empire fucking sucked

#

And literally had chaos cults

opaque coyote
#

fair.

arctic talon

By the end of it

Who are those bug people to the southwest of the eye of terror called

And what are the. Fuck those. The aliens that love cybernetics

#

Who use nuke-powered slow ass ships

arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

The Thyrrus are probably my favorite minor xenos species

#

Specifically because they see war as a performance. Kinda similar to the Harlequins, but not really.

#

So they literally choose the flashiest, most devastating tactics

#

Uncaring of what makes sense

#

As long as it kills a lot of people

#

Including themselves

also, the game gives you castellan crowe to play with for some reason, and hes just pretty well rendered in terms of lore

raven stone

He is busted lorewise, but mechanically his melee attacks would only ever be normal attacks...

well he gets the blade of antwyr in the game too

so he gets flaming and purging attacks in close combat

Their armor will fight on its own if the wearer goes unconscious for whatever reason

Their vehicles and ships are heavily automated and capable of fighting without being piloted

#

They have literal AI and bullshit in some of their gear, each of their 10 Land Behemoths are roughly equivalent to an Ordinatus in firepower and can dish out insane amounts of firepower, they have a shitton of tanks and dreads.

Their ships have higher grade weapons and power systems among other things, and auto loading.

Their serfs are augmented heavily and given good armor and weapons.

Do we ever hear from the terrawatt clan and such these days, I remember in HH they had some interactions with the SM and/or admech?

Okay so to be blunt

#

literally 99.9% of madeup human factions in HH dont matter

#

they are made up to be cool enemies for the Imperium to defeat

#

thats it

dusk patrol
#

Um they probably just merged with the IoM, Ferrus was noted to work with them earlier on but Terra hadn’t fully developed then

remote widget
#

Terrawatt klan is important though still, they make the custodes gear

storm jungle
#

They dont as far as we know rn

dusk patrol
#

They were a super advanced clan who made some really sick tech, but they kept out of all conflicts until the Emperor asked them because he had tech they didn’t have.

And then they worked with him to develop weapons and stuff.

raven stone

the custodes gear currently is told be just made by extremely skilled artisan families

#

They’re there to take down high level crime, probably from nobles and stuff.

No one has rights

#

Nowadays,
Enforcers = US state police.
Arbites = FBI (so if inter-planetary enforcement is needed)
Inquisition = CIA/NSA

dusk patrol
#

A governor of a world is just another fucking criminal to them

storm jungle
spare osprey
#

Niiiice

dusk patrol
#

Rarely Enforcers might rise up to the Arbites ranks like Calpurnia if they’re able to distinguish themselves.

#

But it’s not as common

storm jungle
#

also Calpurnia is old

raven stone
dusk patrol
#

And they will

storm jungle
#

Yeah the problem is again XP level

dusk patrol
#

They have fleets for a reason

#

They’re capable of blockading worlds.

storm jungle
#

if its like some chump RT yeah they're prob a bit fucked

#

if you got like an entire army-tier retinue of voidsmen and influence tho yeah they wont be touching you

#

or if they do you can prob massacre their entire presinct and leave the planet

dusk patrol
#

Depends on the Arbites and the Dynasty yeah, there’s also a good chance they get the Inquisition and others involved

#

And they need a very strong case

queen laurel
raven stone
dusk patrol
#

Taking down RT dynasties is generally an Inquisition tier thing though

dusk patrol
storm jungle
spare osprey
storm jungle
#

unless they got like real good orbital-tier weapons

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Some dynasties have fleets and enough pull with the local Battlefleet they could

#

But it’s a bad idea to try

dusk patrol
#

Almost everyone who calls in an Exterminatus is eventually found by the Inquisition and killed for it

spare osprey
#

What circumstances would lead a rogue trader to even want to exterminatus?

storm jungle
#

You basically need a "pass" for it

storm jungle
#

like a planet literally falling to chaos

#

or a daemonic incursion

raven stone
dusk patrol
#

Daemon world is starting to form, genestealer cult took over

#

Nid invasions

celest dome
#

Why spend money on hauling Exterminatus worthy ammunition when it's taking space for good cargo to sell to unexpecting Zealots

storm jungle
#

Yeah if the planet is already doomed

#

and you do an exterminatus as a non-Inq

#

they will usually just pat your back

#

"you did the right thing" etc

dusk patrol
#

Basically, you better have filled out the paperwork and done all you could

dusk patrol
#

They have similar levels of autonomy

#

Different goals but they can help eachother out

raven stone
#

Re: Rogue Traders and Exterminatus...

Generally speaking, RT ships will not have actual Exterminatus ammunition.

However. If they can do orbital bombardment on something planetside that can cause Exterminatus scaled destruction...

dusk patrol
#

Just depends

storm jungle
#

if you got the resources yes

#

remember Rogue Traders are literally made with an RPG mindset in mind

dusk patrol
#

RT fleet easily could also although that’s for high level dynasties which are rare

storm jungle
#

you gotta build up your mafia city level

remote widget
dusk patrol
#

RTs often have entire Battlefleet at their beck and call, and multiple regiments, which technically aren’t under them but, you know, basically are.

south gorge
storm jungle
#

its the example I ALWAYS use

#

because its literally what it is

#

build up your weapons, homies, ships, vehicles etc

#

its a literal journey

south gorge
#

Yes the best part of rogue trader and my least favourite part of 40k is that you can have a menagerie of homie types.

dusk patrol
#

Owlcat stealing from those Kingmaker devs

#

Smh

storm jungle
south gorge
#

The only factions where you can have a lot of different homies are like chaos and Tau… and I only like Tau…

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

you literally can barely have a team of different races because everyone hates each other lol

#

you gotta pull like a ton of canon excuses for it to work

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

for real

#

"Im a rogue trader/Inquisitor stfu"

south gorge
# storm jungle its the one downside of 40k compared to AOS/WHF yeah

I have been slowly becoming an AoS Andy for this very reason. Been playing Bad Moon gitz and the amount of shit you can field is ridiculous. Currently been messing with a Troggoth/Squig/Arachnarok Zerg army (with the bestest gobbo boys ofc) and I don’t think even 40k Orks have that level of variety. It’s just green, green, greener, and the occasional cow lizard.

dusk patrol
#

Oh god don’t get her started

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

I do wanna play Soulbound though.

storm jungle
#

LOTR popularized it and its such a good trope

dusk patrol
#

One of these days

#

Heard mixed things.

storm jungle
#

Warhammer make a good RPG challenge

#

Wrath & Glory my unbeloved

dusk patrol
#

Fantasies one was very disappointing to me

#

It’s not terrible but eh

#

It’s not great.

celest dome
#

Did you play 3rd ?

dusk patrol
#

I can’t recall, it was a while ago

#

I just didn’t like the setup

celest dome
#

3rd is the one that sucked

dusk patrol
#

It can work if you modify it a lot

celest dome
#

2 and 4th are quite good

south gorge
celest dome
#

It's less flexible than Pathfinder or DnD

dusk patrol
#

FFG one’s had major faults but I loved their setup

celest dome
#

But it's nice

dusk patrol
#

W&G is ok, I don’t love it

#

Maledictim I haven’t gotten to do yet

#

I’ve heard it’s good

queen laurel
# storm jungle for real

me a chaos lord when a Scinari Cathallar. Brute, a Knights-Zephyros and an actual ******* dragon actually pull up and beat the **** out of me

south gorge
#

The reason I like W&G is because you can kinda have the cross race team ups because it’s up to the DM’s discretion

storm jungle
#

Yeah its fun in that regard

dusk patrol
#

I just prefer FFGs system.

storm jungle
#

I always found it boring how restrictive non-human party members were in other 40k RPGs so its nice

dusk patrol
#

It’s super easy to a make most parties work in FFG with minor modification, it has its faults

#

Like if you port over from DW you have to adjust stuff a lot lol

#

But I like it more personally

outer wave
#

I'd like to play a Warhammer TTRPG module at some point in my life

#

It seems pretty fun if a weird system

south gorge
queen laurel
south gorge
dusk patrol
#

It’s not a bad system I just personally don’t prefer it

#

Soulbound I’ve always wanted to play

south gorge
#

It is a serviceable vehicle to pretending to be a unit in the warhammer setting. It’s where stories like the all guardsman party came from.

south gorge
dusk patrol
#

It’s basically a vehicle to do basically anything and also have your party be more powerful than average

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

The soul binding literally juices them up and lets them come back from death and forces them to play nice

#

Basically a peak TTRPG excuse

queen laurel
#

they didn't just put this here as like a one of a kind thing Orruks of Bonesplitterz and ironjawz can do this

dusk patrol
#

Yeah there’s some wacky combinations.

south gorge
queen laurel
#

and so are the goals

queen laurel
south gorge
#

Oh my god goal number 6 speaks to me…

dusk patrol
#

There’s a lot of fun stuff

#

It’s basically what you’d expect from RPGs, start out fairly normal and rise to being absurdly powerful

queen laurel
#

you can also play as death

#

basically zombies vampires and ghouls

#

or order

#

the one with the armored lady elves dwarves and the ******* dragon

dusk patrol
#

Chaos is the only one you can’t right?

queen laurel
dusk patrol
#

Doesn’t shock me

queen laurel
#

but you can only probably play an evil campaign with them

#

because well

#

chaos

dusk patrol
#

Yeah, or some super handwaved reason why you can

queen laurel
south gorge
#

Hey you never know

queen laurel
#

that's right they have cavalry based classes

south gorge
#

Because Archaeon books all have a very distinct flavour of him feeling like the hero.

dusk patrol
#

I mean

#

To him I guess

#

He does some fucked up stuff in those

south gorge
#

So you could have kind of an Overlord / Punisher thing where you flavour the objectives like “you’re doing something good” but in reality you’re burning down an orphanage. Like pyro vision.

rose thorn
#

I wish arch can lead every chaos army again :(

south gorge
#

Archie and Perty are the only chaos goobs I find cool.

queen laurel
#

like Soulbound one of the most power fantasy RPG you can get

south gorge
#

carrying something on your back only to be obstructed by upper management and your peers. And then them having the GALL to shittalk you is so relatable, I woulda peaced the fuck outta the heresy as well.

rose thorn
#

Its also surprisingly simple

#

The entire system is built off of rolling d6

queen laurel
south gorge
rose thorn
#

Yes!

south gorge
#

/ have any fun party stories you wanna share

rose thorn
#

It’s wonderful

queen laurel
#

it's not the most complicated system as well

#

like already stated

rose thorn
#

staregryn my players wanted to play pathfinder instead so im converting it to pathfinder

#

So now I have an AOS pathfinder campaign

dusk patrol
#

Basically the downside is, it’s very simple

rose thorn
#

It’s very modular

dusk patrol
#

So it requires a good DM to make it work well imo

queen laurel
#

yeah

#

it's designed to be allowing everyone to get into it

rose thorn
#

Also the zone system is amazing

#

I use it in genesys

south gorge
#

My group is pretty new system resistant but it looks like the 5e book and if it’s nice and simple that’ll be a good transition.

rose thorn
#

Is your group age of sigmar fans?

south gorge
#

Ehhh more 40k fans

#

But we didn’t like W&G all that much

#

And rogue trader is an ass to setup.

rose thorn
#

What factions/races do they like from other settings and 40K

#

Age of sigmar has something for everyone

queen laurel
#

yeah we have tons

rose thorn
#

It’s like, you don’t care about 99% of the factions but you have one that just

south gorge
rose thorn
#

Fists perfectly

south gorge
#

I know the empire is kinda toned down in AoS.

rose thorn
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

It’s like

south gorge
#

And is more uhh stormcast

rose thorn
#

Much much bigger

#

Age of sigmar is a game where you play your gods on tabletop, it’s very very high fanatsy

south gorge
#

Oh, I thought they didn’t have Karl and the boys anymore?

#

Like Big Sig is running it himself.

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

staregryn there’s a lot of lore but

#

Look at the cities of sigmar

rose thorn
queen laurel
#

Yes those are literal airships and shrines backed up by tanks and war machines

south gorge
#

Oh that’s right I forgot the dwarves had blimps and stuff.

rose thorn
#

That’s KO

#

Kharadron overlords

#

The cash money space dwarves

south gorge
#

Yes they’re super cool

queen laurel
#

yes

south gorge
#

But I like the naked fire dwarves better

rose thorn
#

GASP

#

ONE OF US ONE OF US

south gorge
#

And the undersea turtle elves.

rose thorn
rose thorn
south gorge
#

But Badmoon Gitz are the best I’m so sorry

rose thorn
#

That’s is a very valid and very common take

south gorge
#

The only faction I’ve bothered to learn the lore and gameplay of for tableschlop

rose thorn
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

And buy all the minis for a few factions

queen laurel
rose thorn
south gorge
#

The only thing I don’t like about AoS is the sphere system.

rose thorn
#

The realms?

south gorge
#

Like I can tell that is in ifrit or whatever.

#

Yea! I hate that.

rose thorn
#

The realms are honestly very open ended

#

You can really throw what ever

south gorge
#

I dunno I liked it better when it was one place.

#

And there was like a demon realm specifically.

rose thorn
#

There is though?

#

And the realms are one place

#

You go and physically visit them

#

It’s just bigger

south gorge
#

I know but it’s… I dunno it’s different.

queen laurel
rose thorn
queen laurel
#

there's a realm for everyone

rose thorn
#

Even aqshy has snow

#

And everyone is everywhere

south gorge
#

I know you can like fight wherever but I don’t even particularly like how DND does it with the phlogiston and all that.

rose thorn
#

Ah

south gorge
#

I’m a simple man I want to fight dwarves on a planet, dammit

celest dome
#

Nothing stopping you from concentrating on 1 realm only

rose thorn
#

mhm

#

most of my stuff is in ghur

queen laurel
#

yeah that too

#

mine also comes from the realm of beasts

rose thorn
#

i suggest writing a homebrew location and go fucking crazy

#

also if you want

#

youc an jsut, be on a moon or something

#

or be between realms

#

shadespire was a colony that was between ulgu and hysh

#

(before nagash exterminated them all)

south gorge
rose thorn
#

valid

#

theres a few cities of sigmar thats on moons and astroids

celest dome
#

I think if I get to do a Soulbound rpg again I'll try to have them visit all of them.
But I haven't dmed one yet

rose thorn
#

thats pretty fun

sly ivy
south gorge
#

I can also respect why they chose to “branch out” and can understand that people prefer the variety, especially the casual Christophe’s of the world.

rose thorn
#

i do htink tehre should be more realm

#

and there should be more demi realms

#

but also realm engines and realm gates exist for a resaon

#

if you wanan blend realms together

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

mountain ranges of dead gods

south gorge
#

Ghur is also my favourite

rose thorn
#

hungry holes

#

islands that eat each other

#

its wonderful

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

the chaso corruption in ghur is also pretty horrifying

#

fields of eyeballs

#

beasts the size of towns

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

yeah

south gorge
#

I like Shyish too?

rose thorn
queen laurel
#

and considering that, grot's ogors, orruks and Gargants roam the place

south gorge
#

I thinks that’s what it’s called. Nagash is a homie and hustled for his promotion

rose thorn
#

yup

south gorge
#

Also like isn’t Mazdamundi active in AoS?

queen laurel
south gorge
#

I think he’s like one of my favourite character designs of all time. Beeg frog.

#

Sad day for beeg frog gamers around the world Sitgryn

queen laurel
#

kroak is unfortunately the only surviving lizardmen

#

from old world

#

but the Seraphon are cool

rose thorn
#

very hype for the warhamemr reveals tomorrow

#

the soulblight releases got leaked

#

at least 2 of them

#

||vampire on vampiric steed||
|| new black knights||
||probably getting new grave guard too||

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

i have no cleu waht the BL model will be

#

oh hey the nrugle battletome gto leakde

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

never mind

#

whoops

#

sorry someone posted it in the rumors section but it was last editions battletome leaks

rose thorn
#

what do wethink the BL model is gonna be

#

i havent seen a leak for it yet

echo vault
#

are rubric marines unable to do the assault marine bolt pistol/chainsword combo, i would imagine that if you stuck a sorceror in there you could get them moving a bit more

rose thorn
#

on tabletop or lore?

arctic talon
#

Since it’s easier to control

spring cairn
#

they can use anything

arctic talon
#

Also a majority of rubrics are made up of line legionaries

spring cairn
#

in theory

arctic talon
#

So like

#

In life they didn’t get a fuck ton of cqb training

#

In any case the issue is that rubrics are slow on the uptake so it’s better to just give them guns

echo vault
#

I'm just thinking in general, i for a split second kinda assumed the rubric just made their motor skills suck a lil so relying on just bolters, idk when or where i remembereed that but good thing its wrong

#

I was just thinking of having a black legion army with a portion of the troops being rubric marines cause that black gold color scheme for them looks cool

arctic talon
#

But it’s not like they can’t saw you in half with a sword

#

They just prolly can’t parry and stuff lol

echo vault
#

ye thats prob it, i think right as i sent that i remembered the sprue for rubric marines i think literally do come with chainsword and warp bolt pistol variants

#

prob for the squad leader

arctic talon
echo vault
#

i need to remember my thousand sons lore

storm jungle
#

Oh boy paper lore time

queen laurel

Same.

queen laurel
#

recently 40K has become more and more mainstream

#

Even got a secret level episode

storm jungle
#

Yeah AOS is 2nd place atm for the most part

crisp heath
#

I actually noticed purity seals on some boxes playing darktide recently and that made me realise i'm not 100% sure what they even are

storm jungle
#

Emma oh my god

crisp heath
#

So a nice video for dinmer

storm jungle
#

im taking away your lore license

#

crisp heath
#

😦

storm jungle
#

but TLDR its literally "yeah this is holy"

#

sticks

crisp heath
#

You'll have to come and take it though!!!

crisp heath
#

Like why are they present on space marine armour and AC units in equal measure

storm jungle
#

Yeah its literally what i said like uh

#

"This AC does its job"

#

sticks purityseal

#

"This armor is holy"

#

sticks purityseal

#

"You have done great deeds"

#

sticks on forehead purityseal

#

it sliterally a holy motivational-blessing sticker

queen laurel
crisp heath
#

They should at least have different colours if not shapes, i feel like there's a big difference between the two lol

crisp heath
#

Makes me think of the uhh

#

I dont have it saved now but there's a meme picture of a space marine in MS paint covered fully with purity seals loö

#

I am the purest

storm jungle
#

Yeah accurate

plush mason
storm jungle
crisp heath
#

There Xd

storm jungle
#

Lol yeah thats an oldie but a goodie

crisp heath
storm jungle
#

Extremely simple

#

the problem is you gotta know some waxwork lmao

#

I have a sticker-pin purity seal on my bag

plush mason
#

the fact there is likely worlds in the imperium dedicated purely to bees and or harvesting paraffin from other sources for the wax is still funny to think about

storm jungle
#

lol that too

crisp heath
storm jungle
#

Im 99% sure theres a guide on google, has to be

crisp heath
#

It would be classy as MOTHERFUCK

storm jungle
#

its literally a matter of

#

get wax

#

find seal stamp

crisp heath
#

It's definitely going on my wishlist now

storm jungle
#

Yeeee

#

if medieval scribes can do it so can you lol

median star
#

so what happens if a marine has their purity seal shot off or something do they get new ones recopies or

storm jungle
#

Either get new ones or earn them

arctic talon
crisp heath
#

man i really don´t think i enjoy playing havoc

dusk patrol
#

They don’t tend to last much past first contact

crisp heath
#

apparently, i fucking suck at this game

storm jungle
#

first and foremost especially

#

dont feel bad about not being good at it, its purposefully chaotic and unfair

arctic talon

Yeah

#

Havoc is meant to kick your ass

#

It’s not supposed to be accessible

Theres a reason i barely touched it lol
